Implementation of Corporate Communication Platform and M365

Tender description

We are seeking to issue a Contract for Implementation of Corporate Communication Platform and M365 to support Tai Tarian’s Technology & Innovation team in the delivery of its departmental objectives. At Tai Tarian we want to make an urgent appointment of a preferred partner to provide corporate Digital Leadership and expertise and so enable a smooth shift to hybrid / remote working across the organisation. Our organisation has been working remotely since March 2020 and has adapted well to the enforced remote environment. However, we are alert to the fact that our workforce digital skills are not well developed and our disciplines and expectations about data management also need urgent improvement. The Technology & Innovation team is already progressing rapidly with the technical roll out of M365, but under the circumstances it will be a challenge to achieve positive engagement or full user adoption. At the same time, we aim to implement an organisation wide platform to enhance engagement and communication, and need guidance about the selection of the right product to integrate with M365 – whether that be Yammer, Slack or Workplace, followed by visible leadership of the implementation. The selected specialist organisation will report directly to an Executive Director within our overall “Future of Work” improvement plan, alongside the Head of Technology & Innovation who will naturally drive the technology implementation and the Head of Organisation Development who is facilitating several areas of change relating to remote working.
